Worse than that could be an influx of so-called scientific articles that either add nothing new or bring “hallucination” to the table—where LLMs make up “facts” that are untrue.

Many have found the existing detection tools not very effective, especially for professional academic writing. These tools have a bias against non-native speakers. Seven common web-based AI detection tools all identified non-native English writers’ works as AI-generated text more frequently than native English speakers’ writing.

But now it seems as if chemistry scientists have…
